MphasiS , an EDS company, announced a holistic expansion of both capacity and capability in its Chennai operations. As a part of its consolidation & expansion plans, MphasiS will consolidate its offices adding 3600 seats in the city by   year-end 2008.

 

Additionally, MphasiS continues to enhance its capabilities out of Chennai, and today inaugurated its Enterprise Labs, an innovative information technology (IT) centre providing engineering, development and testing environments for MphasiS and EDS service offering development and delivery teams worldwide.

 

Development activities in Chennai, an integral part of EDS' global virtual laboratory capability, focus on IT industry priorities such as server virtualization (running multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single server) and "Green IT," as well as continuously improving delivery quality and speed.

 

Including its partnership with MphasiS, EDS has deployed a global network of regional labs in the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa that provide follow-the-sun service across all time zones and theatres of operation. The Enterprise Labs team incorporates technologies from leadership companies such as VMware and EDS Agility Alliance partners Cisco Systems, EMC and Sun Microsystems into its solutions. The EDS Agility Alliance is a coalition of companies globally recognized for their quality, products and value to clients. Together, EDS and its Agility Alliance partners collaborate to design, build and run a market-leading services platform and develop technology-based services to deliver tangible client results. 

 

EDS, a recognized global leader in Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing (ITO), began setting the standard in the remote infrastructure management (RIM) market in the mid-1980s. MphasiS, rapidly building its ITO capabilities to complement its strong applications and business process outsourcing portfolios, launched its RIM business about a year ago and now has more than 4,200 professionals focused on this suite of services. 

 

Commenting on growth plans and the Enterprise Labs opening, Jeya Kumar, CEO, said, "Based on what we see in the global marketplace, we expect our infrastructure management business to be a major growth driver for MphasiS. Opening the Enterprise Lab is an important milestone to accelerate ITO expansion and provides high-quality solutions to MphasiS and EDS clients in India and around the world." 

 

"The facility will accelerate the efforts of development teams and enable us go to market faster with domain-based services that address customer needs. We are aggressively recruiting and hiring professionals for our ITO business and all parts of MphasiS." Added Jeya Kumar. MphasiS already is among the top 10 IT services employers in India.

 

"Enterprise Labs is an example of how information technology enables virtual teams come together in a global delivery model to provide innovation and around the clock support for MphasiS' and EDS' operations and our customers," said Tom Fabry, director, EDS Enterprise Labs. "We look forward to continuing to work with the team in Chennai to build out a world-class laboratory."

 

EDS opened its Enterprise Lab facility at its headquarters in Plano, Texas, in late 2007. These global operations already are supported by employees in Chennai and around the world.
